For a low cost, relatively disposable item, I expected this to last a week or so before it fell apart. However, I was pleasantly surprised that:
1. The flag has stayed on despite a week of thunderstorms and wind
2. The metal pole is of good quality and is rigid enough to push into dry dirt... which is now muddy and wet due to #1 above
3. The red flag is bright and easy to see
I'm using these to mark sprinkler heads and shallow buried cables (landscape lighting, and utilities) before our lawn aeration service next week. For the low cost of this item, there are more than enough flags to mark my yard with tons left over, and it is cheap insurance against having to dig up ruined sprinkler heads or shallow low voltage lines because the lawn guy rolled right over it with the aerator.
As mentioned above, shortly after I marked the lawn, we've had a week of thunderstorms and high winds but these marking flags look no worse for wear. I'd definitely buy these again if I ever came across a need in the future. But with 100 flags, I've got more than enough right now.
** Update: Aug 2021 **
One of my sprinklers is too close to the edge of the grass and I keep running over it with the edger, so I’ve left one flag in the yard for the past 2 months so I can remember where it is. Other than a bit of fading so that parts of the flag is more pinkish than bright red, the flag is in pretty good shape. The metal pole is a bit rusted due to the sprinklers and rain but has held up and looks pretty good as well. For something that I paid about 16 cents a piece I’m quite impressed at how well the flags have done. If you look at the picture you couldn’t tell that this had been sitting outside all summer.
